Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled Zika
Reproductive Health Call-Back Survey
(ZRHCS), Puerto Rico, 2017 to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval. CDC previously
published a ‘‘Proposed Data Collection
Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations’’ notice on April 27,
2017 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC
received one general comment related to
the previous notice. This notice serves
to allow an additional 30 days for public
and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this
proposed information collection project.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
that:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agencies estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
(d) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including, through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses; and
(e) Assess information collection
costs.
To request additional information on
the proposed project or to obtain a copy
of the information collection plan and
instruments, call (404) 639–7570 or
send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Direct
written comments and/or suggestions
regarding the items contained in this
notice to the Attention: CDC Desk
Officer, Office of Management and

Proposed Project
Zika Reproductive Health Call-Back
Survey (ZRHCS), Puerto Rico, 2017—
New—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In May 2015, the World Health
Organization reported the first local
mosquito born transmission of Zika
virus in the Western Hemisphere, with
autochthonous cases identified in
Brazil. In response to the Zika virus
outbreak, and evidence that Zika virus
infection during pregnancy is a cause
microcephaly and other adverse
pregnancy and infant outcomes, CDC
activated its Emergency Operations
Center to its highest level on February
8, 2016 and continues to engage in Zika
virus operations.
To date, Puerto Rico has reported the
highest number of Zika virus cases of
any area within the United States, with
the Puerto Rico Department of Health
(PRDH) reporting more than 40,000
cases of Zika virus infection, including
3,757 cases in pregnant women. Given
the adverse pregnancy and birth
outcomes associated with Zika virus
infection during pregnancy and the
current lack of a vaccine, it is important
for women who are at risk of becoming
pregnant unintentionally, or who are
planning a pregnancy, to be
knowledgeable about the potential
outcomes of Zika virus infection. In
addition, it is important for them to
practice effective pregnancy prevention
behaviors when they do not desire
pregnancy and to prevent mosquitoborne and sexual transmission of Zika
virus.
This is a request for a new
information collection. CDC requests
one additional year of clearance to
continue the Emergency information
collection, ‘‘Emergency Zika Package:
Zika Reproductive Health Survey,
Puerto Rico, 2017,’’ approved by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) in July 2017 (OMB Control
Number 0920–1188).
The objective of this assessment is to
collect current information on various
aspects of Zika knowledge and
prevention behaviors from a
representative sample of adult women
in Puerto Rico. Information will be
collected on the following topics: (1)
Knowledge of and adherence to
mosquito prevention strategies, and (2)
use of condoms to minimize the risk of
sexual transmission of Zika, and (3)
behaviors practiced by women who
wish to avoid or delay pregnancies that
help them prevent unintended
pregnancies that might otherwise be
affected by Zika. CDC will rapidly
summarize and analyze the information
collected for the Puerto Rico
Department of Health to determine the
need for further refinements in
educational messaging and allocation of
resources, as established during the first
season of the Zika outbreak. There is no
cost to respondents other than the time
to participate. The total estimated
annual burden hours are 117.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology; and (e) estimates of capital
or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and

maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Proposed Project
Congenital Heart Survey To Recognize
Outcomes, Needs, and well-being (CH
STRONG) (OMB Control Number: 0920–
1122, Expiration 07/31/2017)—
Reinstatement with change—National
Center on Birth Defects and
Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are
the most common type of structural
birth defects, affecting approximately 1
in 110 live-born children. In prior
decades, many CHDs were considered
fatal during infancy or childhood, but
with tremendous advances in pediatric
cardiology and cardiac surgery, at least
85% of patients now survive to
adulthood and there are approximately
1.5 million adults with CHD living in
the United States.
With vast declines in mortality from
pediatric heart disease over the past 30
years, it is vital to evaluate long-term
outcomes and quality of life issues for
adults with CHD. However, U.S. data on
long-term outcomes, quality of life
issues, and comorbidities of adults born
with CHD are lacking. U.S. data is
needed to provide insight into the
public health questions that remain for
this population and to develop services
and allocate resources to improve longterm health and wellbeing.
The initial request for this project was
one year, but there was a delay in
recruitment that results in a change in
the recruitment process. Therefore, an
additional 24 months is being requested.
The three sites decided to conduct more
intensive and time-consuming tracking
and tracing to identify more accurate
contact information for all eligible
individuals. In addition to more
intensive tracking and tracing, the sites
decided to send recruitment materials in
batches rather than all at once. This
ensured that problems with the
recruitment process were caught
immediately and could be modified in
subsequent rounds of recruitment. Due
to these delays and changes in
recruitment process, CH STRONG data
collection is expected to last an
additional 24 months and conclude two
years after receiving an extension from
OMB.
